    Honestly, absolute crap. Even the premium .ws names sell for peanuts

    if you want to "invest" in domains..get some good .coms
    most novice internet users don't even know there are extensions of .ws

    you can always buy the fallen .com domains! people forget to renue then, so search and get those!

    anyways, there are still a lot of .com domains that can be registered, actually you can get the 2 word domains, or one word meaning less domains, may be 3 words meaning full domains! just need to do some searching!:)

    be creative with your choice of keywords and you will find many .com's available to register. Also don't forget .net!

    .ws costs $35/year, thats an expensive and risky "investment".

    I dont recommend this .WS . Just waste you time to do SEO and SERP.

    Domains will never sell, but they create above average traffic for some reason?

    I would say that .info domains with the same keywords are worth more than .ws

    I had some premium .ws and just let it drop this year - waist of money (but good promotion which leads to nothere)

    Thank you for your opinions I think when I invest it will be .com or .net domains instead
